Suzhou seeks to gather more than 500 enterprises in the aerospace industry chain, with operating income reaching 60 billion yuan by 2023, and build three to five aviation and aerospace industrial parks.
Airbus is committed to leading the decarbonization of the aerospace sector. By 2035, the company aims to bring the world's first zero-emission commercial aircraft to the market. This is consistent with China's goal to peak its carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, Airbus said.
